Overview
Published soon after Fitzgeraldās debut novel This Side of Paradise, Flappers and Philosophers was the authorās first collection of short fiction, a form through which he had gained notoriety in newspapers and magazines. The familiar themes of aspiration and social satire already permeate his writing: in āBernice Bobs Her Hairā the fashionable Marjorie attempts to turn her dowdy cousin into a debutante, before betraying her out of jealousy, while āThe Ice Palaceā features a Southern belle whose engagement to a Northerner finds her confronted with a cultural clash between tradition and modernity.
Also containing āThe Offshore Pirateā, āHead and Shouldersā, āThe Cut-Glass Bowlā, āBenedictionā, āDalyrimple Goes Wrongā and āThe Four Fistsā, this volume of stories illustrates the early stages of Fitzgeraldās development as a writer and provides an entertaining chronicle of America in the 1910s.
